Hi folks,
I'm not really sure whether this is related to the manual page
itself or the driver, so bear with me please.
Reading the manual page, it's not immediately clear what devices
are supported without going not just to the source but seemingly
outside of the tree completely - so maybe it'd be a good idea to
list the devices; going by src/sys/modules/iwlwifi/ it's a pretty
good collection and I'm sure a lot of people would like an easy way
to know whether theirs are supported or not.
Another thing I noted is that there's it's a bit ambiguous whether
iwlwifi(4) is supposed to replace iwm(4) and perhaps others - but
from the blobs in the before-mentioned folder, I'm assuming that
that is the intention. If it is, then there should probably be some
sort of documentation on how this is to be achieved; I'd assume
it's done via hints, but having to figure out how from first
principles isn't the easiest (I know I'd struggle, although I might
eventually succeed).
If the only impediment is ENOTIME, I'd be happy to work on making
the mdoc changes, provided I can have a enlightenment in how to
figure out:
1) Exactly which devices are supported
2) The steps to ensuring that iwlwifi(4) gets used over iwm(4) and others.
Yours appreciatively,
Daniel Ebdrup Jensen
